There are some blanket labels being used here. Avoid labels, not only do they lead to misunderstanding (because they are inaccurate), they will tend to cause irritation because they are wrongly used and this will not aid any discussion or understanding between us.
I agree with the people suggesting: (for anyone interested in it) making sure careful thought, preparation and use of sterilised equipment. Keep safe and preferably get someone who knows and has done this before. Do not fear seeking help or telling someone if the wounds get infected - it's more important you keep healthy to enjoy what you have for a long time than to suffer complications from it.
